Clone the repository using Git on Merlin 7. This is typically done from within your CryoSPARC installation directory (e.g., /data/user/<user>/cryosparc/):

git clone -b merlin7 https://gitea.psi.ch/CLS-IT/merlin-cryosparc.git config

If you already have cloned this repository, run the following command in your directory CryoSPARC installation directory:

git pull

Next, update all cluster_info.json files to reflect the correct worker path by replacing the placeholder USERNAME. A helper script is available to do this automatically:

ssh $USER@merlin7-cryosparc01.psi.ch "install_filter"

Then, connect the updated lanes to CryoSPARC. This must be done from the machine where CryoSPARC is running. To connect all lanes:

ssh $USER@merlin7-cryosparc01.psi.ch "connect_all"

Alternatively, to connect a specific lane manually:

ssh $USER@merlin7-cryosparc01.psi.ch "connect_new lane_name"
